Alejandro Garnacho Suffers Chelsea Setback as Man Utd Fans Have Same Reaction

Chelsea were in action against Ajax in the UEFA Champions League.
Manchester United fans have been reacting on social media after Alejandro Garnacho suffered more setback at Chelsea.
On Wednesday night, Premier League giants Chelsea welcomed Dutch side Ajax to Stamford Bridge in the UEFA Champions League.
The visitors were reduced to 10 men inside 15 minutes after Kenneth Taylor was sent off, which signalled the start of a horrible evening for John Heitinga's side.
Eventually, goals from Marc Guiu, Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, Estevao and Tyrique George sealed a 5-1 victory. Ex-Manchester United striker Wout Weghorst was the scorer for Ajax.
Despite being a comfortable evening for the Blues, Enzo Maresca opted against giving Garnacho game time as the Argentine was left as an unused substitute.
The likes of George and teenager Reggie Walsh were preferred as attacking changes ahead of Garnacho.
Since moving from United to Stamford Bridge, Garnacho has found it difficult to nail down a regular spot in Maresca's starting XI.
In total, Garnacho has only managed 273 minutes in six appearances across all competitions.
Last weekend, the forward started against Nottingham Forest but was taken off during the half-time interval.
Reacting to Garnacho being snubbed again by Maresca, United fans made the same point on social media, criticising the 21-year-old's decision to force his way out of Old Trafford only to struggle at Chelsea.

One fan said: "Garnacho played a crazy amount of mins at Man Utd, and was fuming about occasionally being benched. Forced his way out of Man Utd, and he can't even get off the Chelsea bench right now."
Another tweeted: "Alejandro Garnacho was always absolutely crazy to kick up a stink while getting very good game time at Manchester United. There was so much proof that joining Chelsea was a horrendous career move. I don’t have much sympathy."
A third fan added: "Don't think Garnacho grasped how lucky he had it at Manchester United. We somehow gave him 50 games in 23/24 and 58 games in 24/25."
Someone else wrote: ""Chelsea or I won't play for United for six months" This guy really overrated himself."
Garnacho will hope to get some minutes this weekend when Chelsea return to Premier League action against Sunderland on Saturday afternoon.
